Whatever you do, don't kill him. You should keep him around as a pet of sorts.

I recently modded Dwarf Fortress so that the blood of certain species have different values. Currently, I put the blood of Elves at the highest. The dwarves collect the blood and put it into buckets and sell it for 1000 DBs a bucket. Any ideas so I can maximize the blood loss of elves without killing them?

1.0.3 is out, the shear number of fixes and changes hastened the release time.

* Wrote a guide to the variety of fauna in Corrosion see the read me guide, or the Plant Guide file.
* Rye Seeds are now called rye seeds (used to be wheat seeds)
* Training Depot changed to Weapons Workshop, and one makeshift weapon was added (NightS), Wooden armorplates are now created here.
*Renamed the Metalsmith Forge (formally known as Metalsmith's Workshop) to Blacksmith's Forge. (Thanks to SirAaronIII for noticing)
*Doctor's Workshop - Trains all medical skills. Requires a training dummy for bone setting, diagnosing, and dressing wounds. But animal remains for surgery and suturing.
*Optional mod. Zombies will leak pus everywhere when it rains, without liberal use of DFcleanmap this can lag computers, the creature_zombie_nopus_di replaces the creature_zombie_di file and removes pus, and consequently the rotting effect. (NightS)
*Four plants with dyes, most of them cannot be cooked, or eaten raw.
     *Bloodroot - grows in temperate forests and shrubland, milled for red dye
     *Indigo - Temperate savannas and grasslands milled for expensive blue dye
     *Henna - Any Savanna, grassland, or shrubland, milled for black dye.
     *Turmeric - Any tropical, can be eaten raw, milled for cheap goldenrod dye
*Pistols no longer made at the Metalsmith's Forge (noticed by SirAaronIII)
*Guns in the Gunsmith's workshop have different shortcuts. (noticed by SirAaronIII)
*Dojo should increase skills now.

Also, the trader says "Greetings from the Mountainhomes!"
What mountainhomes? Aren't those mountains made out of explodium deadly crud?

Oh...

I embarked, and the opening screen is still dwarven.

"After a journey from the Mountainhomes"

"Provide for your dwarves"

Don't know how to fix either of these 
I'll start a new topic to see if anyone knows how to fix it. In the mean time it's going under the acknowledged bugs section on the OP

after making helmet snakes just [PET] rather than an exotic, and giving my dwarves the ability to use any pet race (stolen from the elves), i have the option for them at embark nearly every world i create.

once you do get a breeding pair, you have to do a tiny bit of micromanaging, making sure to forbid their eggs once in the nest box or they'll be shipped off to be used as food. unless, of course, you specify food stockpiles to not include eggs, or just helmet snake eggs (learned that the hard way with my beak dog breeding program...)

If you wait till the water freezes again, then mine out the area so your dwarves have access to the area, they might be able to retrieve the pick, clothes, and skeleton.  The fact that they're still on the stocks menu shows they weren't destroyed, just made inaccessible in the same way objects pushed by water sometimes do.  If your dwarves can reach the area safely, they can reach into limbo and recover the items.

I think this tends to happen if you haven't had a meeting hall for a long time, and suddenly you build/designate one.  Suddenly they start spending more time hanging out, and the magic happens.

It's so obvious! You know how the elves have tons upon tons of "Rope Reed"? The rope reed must be pot! Pot can be used to make rope, clothing and medicine, so that must also be why they live so long!

It's so clear now!

You mean hemp I guess...

Same thing.
